Celeste Rivas Hernandez and the disturbing reviews surrounding her demise had been immediately addressed by the LAPD this week as officers moved to close down misinformation in regards to the teen’s physique being discovered frozen or mutilated in d4vd‘s Tesla.

LAPD Robbery-Homicide Division Captain Scot Williams spoke plainly to People, pissed off by the swirl of on-line hypothesis.

Williams added that the science alone debunks the frozen idea.

“Even if she had been frozen solid when she was put in the car (which there is NO evidence to suggest she was), five or more weeks in the trunk of a car in sweltering heat in the middle of summer would not have resulted in a partially frozen body being discovered on September 8th.”

“No records or details associated with the case, including the cause and manner of death and Medical Examiner report, can be released or posted on the website until further notice,” the workplace mentioned in a press release, including they acknowledge “the public’s interest in this case.”

While LAPD leads the probe, d4vd has reportedly not been useful. Law enforcement sources say he’s “not cooperating,” regardless of earlier claims from his staff that he was “fully cooperating” with authorities.

At the time her physique was found, the singer was on tour. Police later executed a search warrant at a residence the place he had been staying, however no arrests have been made.

Celeste’s household state of affairs provides one other layer of heartbreak. A put up circulating on social media reveals her mom expressing anguish, writing, “I haven’t seen my daughter in years!!!!”

The message has drawn consideration to the teenager’s susceptible state earlier than her disappearance.
